A beer once only available on tap at fine pubs and restaurants in Ontario, Smashbomb Atomic IPA is now be available in 6-packs!

The LCBO caused quite the stir among Ontario craft beer fans in April when it refused to allow Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery to distribute its Smashbomb Atomic IPA in its stores because the name and imagery on the label were deemed to be too violent. Good news for beer lovers and for Flying Monkeys. The LCBO has reversed its decision and the beer can now be found in 90 LCBOs across Ontario.

According to an LCBO post, the number of stores could be expanded if there is sufficient demand, but for now, Ontarians can find the beer in 90 stores. It’s available in six-packs (355mL bottles) for $12.95.
